Summary
32-of-47 passing for a season-high 382 yards and three touchdowns marked Patrick Mahomes' sharpest outing of the young season in Kansas City's 33-30 overtime win over Indianapolis.
Andy Reid said the key shift was Mahomes looking more relaxed in the pocket, crediting the offensive line for consistently clean protection that let him stay patient and work within the scheme.
Three scoring passes went to Travis Kelce, Xavier Worthy and rookie Jalen Royals, and Mahomes then led a four-play overtime drive that set up Harrison Butker's walk-off 40-yard field goal.
The rebound followed earlier grinding performances and reinforced Reid's view that Mahomes was always likely to settle back into rhythm once the protection and comfort level returned.
